Lands of Elderlore - 0.0.9

Tags:

Description

Elderlore is a graphical roguelike in a random yet persistent medieval world. It will rely mostly on fractal landscapes and procedural cities and dungeons.

Web page is in french right now, and game is both in french and english.

Game is in early dev stage, needing pygame, ocempgui, and Numeric modules.

Changes

At last, here is a new release of Lands of Elderlore. This release is still a view-only release, since you can wander in the fractal worlds it generates, but rest of the game is not implemented yet.
Here is the changelog. Have fun !
New functunalities :

New fonts are used

There is now a message when you destroy an object

Roads and rivers take the shortest way if possible on Zone view

Forests are populated with the cave generation algorithm

Tempered forests have now some dead trees

Deserts have now cactus and dead trees

New roads and rivers on World view

New introduction music theme "Jester's tear"

Some animals have been added on the Zone view with the file animaux.csv (but they do nothing)

Objects are now handled with the file inventaire.csv

New mouse shape when over player

New isometric display on Zone view :

TAB key makes you turn yourself anti clockwise

Sift + TAB makes you turn yourself clockwise

< key switches between Zone view and World view

CTRL + g displays two different kind of grid on the Zone view (thank you Anvilfolk !)

To reply to my previous comment, there is now (with the 0.0.7 release) a Windows binary on the Sourceforge page. Do not forget to unzip python24.zip on the root of your C drive if you haven't installed OcempGui.

As I have some problems generating Windows binaries, I'll publish only source code on next release, until the playable 0.1 release. Then I'll try to get some working binary. Sorry for the bother guys :-( but my py2exe knowledge is kinda limited...

You can change the langage in the "options" window and select "english" if you want. You'll get something like that:

Or there is an ini file where you can change "franÃ§ais" to "english". There is only one download for both langages.

ATK is optionnal, you don't have to install it.
One problem you might have is that I am still relying on an old release of Ocempgui. I will update to ocempgui 0.2.3 (and python 2.5) when Pygame 1.8 will be released. Perhaps on this friday ? ;-)
I hope I'll be able to include those changes in the 0.0.3 version, that will come around next week-end.
